You will have to ask the ClamAV project for that information. nClam is just a client to ClamAV.

That is covered in the guide. ClamAV ships with another binary - "freshclam" which is responsible for updating definitions.

Thanks Tony. Maybe my email will become manageable again in the next several months........ :)

I am running the correct Windows version - Build 7967.2139. I'm in Early Release, on the Current Channel and have Modern Authentication enabled on Exchange Online. I see focused on Web and Mobile, but not on Desktop (Windows) Outlook. I've even received the "Welcome to Focused Inbox" email and "Clutter" has been disabled for me. It's very annoying, because "Clutter" was providing useful filtering and now I have no filtering on Desktop (Windows) Outlook.

100% agree and ditto for our organization.

Re: Azure changes in 3.1 - Octopus Deploy

Ryan Hoffman — Tue, 28 Jul 2015 22:01:12 -0000

My org has many cloud services and webapps (we are adding more all the time). The 2.6 way of doing things with Cloud Services was mostly achievable in 3.0 with a custom DeployToAzure.ps1 script and setting up a "dummy" deployment target. We had to come up with this because there was no way we could use the 3.0 way of doing things (due to the extreme management overhead).

With all that said, there has been some awesome improvements to Cloud Service deployments in Octopus 3.0 that have been really welcome:
- Repacking of cspkg, which enables AppSettings replacements (this one is huge!)
- Deployments run on Octopus Server (no need to install a tentacle!)

Here is my Octopus Azure feature requests:
- Give me a setting so I can use a newer version of the Azure Powershell module (so I don't need this workaround: https://gist.github.com/tek... )
- Make it easier for me to run PowerShell scripts with the Azure Powershell module loaded and authenticated to a subscription

Will you guys provide scripts to upgrade the schema? Watching the video now @Damian! Looks great so far (45 min in)!

Re: Octopus 3.0 pre-release is here

Is the data schema in the pre-release going to be upgraded to the final released version?

Yep! The test I preformed earlier did call the

SendAndScanFile(byte[] fileData)

method successfully with the ubuntu iso.

Re: nClam: A .NET library to virus scan

Ryan Hoffman — Sun, 21 Dec 2014 22:16:27 -0000

I just tested scanning the Ubuntu 13.10 desktop amd64 iso with the nClam.ConsoleTest app (which uses a command line arg as a file to send to ClamAV in the various ways). The file is 883mb and completes scanning using the "SendAndScanFile" method in 00:00:03.8893516 seconds on my SSD.

I have this line in my clamd.conf:

StreamMaxLength 2048M

I have modified the test client by initializing the ClamClient instance with a higher MaxStreamSize:


var client = new ClamClient("localhost", 3310)
{
     MaxStreamSize = 2000000000
};

Re: nClam: A .NET library to virus scan

Ryan Hoffman — Sun, 21 Dec 2014 20:24:48 -0000

Hey Carlos!

I believe you have to also add an explit StreamMaxLength configuration setting to your clamd.conf. You will also need to set the MaxStreamSize property on your instance of ClamClient.

See the clamd.conf manpage, under "StreamMaxLength": See http://linux.die.net/man/5/...

StreamMaxLength SIZE

Clamd uses FTP-like protocol to receive data from remote clients. If you are using clamav-milter to balance load between remote clamd daemons on firewall servers you may need to tune the Stream* options. This option allows you to specify the upper limit for data size that will be transfered to remote daemon when scanning a single file. It should match your MTA's limit for a maximum attachment size.
Default: 10M

Thanks for using nClam!

Re: 5 Remote Desktop Alternatives

I've been a RoyalTS user for over 5 years and I highly recommend it. It's great because you can have a shared server file with your team and use saved credentials that are not shared with anyone else at the same time. It also supports VNC and SSH as well.

Re: nClam: A .NET library to virus scan

Given the screenshot that you provided, you are not running that command prompt in an elevated (Administrator) mode. If you were, the title of the window would be "Administrator: C:\windows\system32\cmd.exe". Right click on the command prompt shortcut, and select Run As Administrator. This is not a problem with the nClam library. See this for more help: http://pcsupport.about.com/...

Re: nClam: A .NET library to virus scan

Ryan Hoffman — Tue, 18 Mar 2014 11:00:55 -0000

It's probably because you are not running an elevated command prompt. Please try this again when running Command Prompt as Administrator.

It looks like you need to extract the Redist bundle for the binary you downloaded. The notes on the download page:

To use binaries compiled with Visual Studio 2005, you need the msvcrt80 side by side assembly, the "simple way" is uncompress crt 7zip archives in the executables directory, the directory Microsoft.VC80.CRT must be placed as is, placing dlls directly in the same directory of the executable will not work. On windows 9x you should put the dll and the manifest in windows system directory without the Microsoft.VC80.CRT directory. For more info about this refer to the relative msdn-page. You can also install the redist installers provided.

The download links for the crt archives are under the [Redist] section, here: http://oss.netfarm.it/clamav/

Perhaps you are not running command prompt as an Administrator? Try that and let me know!

Re: nClam: A .NET library to virus scan

Ryan Hoffman — Fri, 05 Apr 2013 18:14:40 -0000

Yes it does. You can send the file as a byte array, so it never gets saved to disk.

Andy,

Unfortunately, I have left the organization that I originally wrote this for about 6 months ago (On great terms! I love those guys and miss them a lot!), so I do not have internal knowledge if they are currently still using it - but I will ask tomorrow! My guess is, they are. When I posted this library (2011), we were already using it for some weeks in production. It was (and still probably is!) in production for years, and the library never had an issue, ever. In a huge system with so many external dependencies, it was a relief that ClamAV was so stable and low maintenance. I believe the ClamAV Windows Service did restart on us once in two years, so my recommendation is to configure the service recovery options to restart the service automatically.

I encourage you to go ahead and try it. Over 1000 downloads on NuGet can't be wrong :). I have been thinking about adding async methods to this library for a while, so if you have a need for these, let me know!

I'm here if you have any more questions! Thanks for the kind words!

-RH

Update: They are still using it! Awesome!

This stuff looks REALLY awesome! Can't wait to watch the Octopus Deploy + TeamCity video as well.

Ditto! I would love to see the video as well. My org is using TeamCity and we are evaluating Octopus - so this is right up my alley!

Are you sure the Claim Server is running?
